Black Friday is so three days ago. Now, it’s all about the fabulous deals that can be had on Cyber Monday.

Many retailers aren’t waiting until the actual Monday after the U.S. Thanksgiving to offer their online deals. They’re often available days before Cyber Monday, and Canadians are increasingly joining the party. According to BMO’s annual report, 44 per cent of Canadians plan to shop online this Cyber Monday. For example, Future Shop expects to attract more than one million shoppers to its site this Cyber Monday, and to double its sales over 2011.

If you’re going to be shopping online, be prepared. Make sure you’ve signed up for any accounts you need to to make your purchase. If your cyber deal is available from a U.S.-only retailer (for example, Sears only in the U.S.), make sure shipping costs aren’t exorbitant. And read all the fine print especially when it comes to dates and restrictions on travel deals.
